An episode in "The Big Bang Theory" talked about Schrodinger's Cat so I went on Wiki to do some research.
"An indeterminacy originally restricted to the atomic domain becomes transformed into macroscopic indeterminacy, which can then be resolved by direct observation is exemplified by the experiment of Schrodinger’s cat, which is the problem of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics being applied to everyday life. Copenhagen implies that the superposition only undergoes collapse into a definite state at the exact moment of quantum movement."
In other words, to find out if the cat is alive, you have to open the box. Why didn't they just say so?
